Top 10 Obama power grabs

The truth is, President Barack Obama should be impeached and removed from office but Republicans do not have the courage to do it because of the fiasco surrounding Bill Clinton's impeachment. Democrats were able to convince the public that Clinton was impeached because he had sex with an intern. No. Clinton was impeached because he committed perjury and obstructed justice in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against him by Paula Jones.

The last Democrat president we had was a criminal and the current Democrat president we have is a criminal who is blatantly thumbing his nose at We the People, court rulings against his policies and our Constitution which is the Supreme Law of our land. Where are the statesmen that have the courage to uphold our laws, do the right thing and remove Barack Obama from the White House? Well, America, they do not exist. Only God knows the full price our nation will pay for their cowardice. - Reggie

Obama’s power grabs are designed to implement his ideological goals, no matter whether they violate his oath of office. November can’t come soon enough.

1. Immigration

By declaring that he will no longer deport most young illegal immigrants, Obama is refusing to follow congressionally passed immigration bills signed into law by earlier presidents. For a constitutional law professor, Obama seems to have forgotten that a presidential administration is supposed to administer the law, not pick and chose which ones to enforce.

2. Fast and Furious

With Obama asserting executive privilege to keep Fast and Furious documents hidden, one has to wonder what the administration is hiding. Why risk a contempt of Congress charge against the attorney general unless the material is politically explosive? The president’s action was reminiscent of Richard Nixon, but no one died at Watergate.

3. Drones

Where is the anti-war left, which was so incensed when President George W. Bush indefinitely detained terrorists but are nearly mute over Obama personally targeting drone victims? The drones aren’t just killing terrorists but also are claiming numerous civilian victims and Obama has deemed that any males near the selected target are fair game for slaughter. It makes Guantanamo look like the more humane option.

4. Obamacare

Obama and congressional Democratic leaders ignored the wishes of the American people and passed into law a highly partisan and unpopular health care bill. The way Obamacare was enacted into law stretched the boundaries of legislative maneuverings by doling out goodies to fence-sitting congressmen. Now there is word from the White House that even if the Supreme Court overturns the law, the president will implement much of it by executive order.

5. Defense of Marriage Act

The Defense of Marriage Act is another area where the Obama administration is deciding which laws to enforce and ignoring ones it doesn’t like. Signed into law by President Clinton, the law defines marriage for federal purposes as the legal union of one man and one woman. Apparently enforcing that law is not popular with the president’s campaign donors.
